As such\, it is unable to provide the kind of reassurance\, hope and comfort that many feel they need in our turbulent times. It can nonetheless\, give us resources to cope with adversity\, affirm life and uphold values. This talk will explore ways which we can use such resources without what Sartre called the false hope in belief that we will prevail and the end of the tunnel will come.

You can see this in the vastly different approaches to growing\, preparing and eating food around the world\, such as the hunter-gatherer Hadza in Tanzania whose sustainable lifestyle is under threat in a crowded planet\, or Western societies whose food is farmed or bred in vast intensive enterprises. And most of us now rely on a complex global food web of production\, distribution\, consumption and disposal\, which is now contending with unprecedented challenges. The need for a better understanding of how we feed ourselves has never been more urgent. In this wide-ranging and definitive book\, philosopher Julian Baggini expertly delves into the best and worst food practises in a huge array of different societies\, past and present. His exploration takes him from cutting-edge technologies\, such as new farming methods\, cultured meat\, GM and astronaut food\, to the ethics and health of ultra processed food and aquaculture\, as he takes a forensic look at the effectiveness of our food governance\, the difficulties of food wastage and the effects of commodification. Extracting essential principles to guide how we eat in the future\, How the World Eats advocates for a pluralistic\, humane\, resourceful and equitable global food philosophy\, so we can build a food system fit for the twenty-first century and beyond.

DESCRIPTION:Join philosopher Julian Baggini\, MP and biographer of Burke Jesse Norman and Thangam Debbonaire for a deep dive into the nature of democracy in which you\, the audience\, will also have a say. \n250 years ago this month\, Edmund Burke delivered a speech to the electors of Bristol telling them ā€œYour representative owes you\, not his industry only\, but his judgment; and he betrays\, instead of serving you\, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.ā€ In other words\, as their MP\, his job was to decide what was in the citizenā€™s best interests\, not necessarily to do what they wanted. Is this an ideal of democracy that is out of date or more urgent than ever? What do our politicians owe us in 2024?
